In My Merry Era!

Host Mary had Tracey Phillips (‪@MindlessCrafting‬) as her guest. Tracey is a longtime crafter & YouTuber; she does LIVES with her hubby Bill. He was on Craft Roulette in the background with a running commentary. Tracey & Bill like to sing little song snippets during their LIVES and brought that to Craft Roulette - so fun! The wheel was pretty kind to us this week, including Tracey since one spin landed on Guest's Choice!

• Project - A2 picked by Tracey: I used a pre-formed A2 card.
• Colors - Holiday: I went Christmas with Green/Red/White. 
• Element - From the Mountains: Mountaintops have snow so I used snowflakes. 
• Random - Fancy Paper: I used both foiled and glitter papers.

When I heard "From the Mountains" as an Element, my brain immediately went to snow. I die cut a bunch of snowflakes and adhered them to a foiled stitched rectangle. Added the panel to an A2 card. I had a stamped/die cut sentiment in the bits box left over from a Hero Arts Stamp & Craft  session (replay available HERE). Popped it onto the large snowflake using foam tape.

I will add my card to Merry Little Christmas #65 where Anything Goes Christmas (entry #4). 

The "In My Merry Era" sentiment came from the Hero Arts October Card Kit. I'd managed to use the kit the actual month received this time & participated in their LIVE craft session. Thought I might as well show you my version of the card that Channin taught that day.

Channin used the October Cling Stamp of the Month but I don't do that subscription. Instead I used an old fave HA cling for my background. It's been out on the craft counter since then & I used it on last week's Craft Roulette card - love it!! Had to laugh - I was showing someone this card and they didn't understand the sentiment. You know - Taylor Swift & her Eras Tour? Oh yeah, they finally got it... Anyway, it was a fun card to make and I stamped a few extra sentiments with plain colored inks to have on hand.

Yesterday I also did the Simon Says Stamp LIVE with Heidi and Gina K - very fun! I will share my projects from that session tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping and have a crafty weekend!!
